[Particle-physics-affiliated] Budget announcement

[Oliver Stelzer-Chilton]

Dear Colleagues,



For those of you who have not followed the announcement, the released budget it is here

https://www.budget.canada.ca/2024/home-accueil-en.html#pdf





World-Leading Research Infrastructure

Modern, high-quality research facilities and infrastructure are essential for

breakthroughs in Canadian research and science. These laboratories and

research centres are where medical and other scientific breakthroughs are born,

helping to solve real-world problems and create the economic opportunities of

the future. World-leading research facilities will attract and train the next

generation of scientific talent. That’s why, since 2015, the federal government

has made unprecedented investments in science and technology, at an average

of $13.6 billion per year, compared to the average from 2009-10 to 2015-16 of

just $10.8 billion per year. But we can’t stop here.



To advance the next generation of cutting-edge research, Budget 2024

proposes major research and science infrastructure investments, including:

$399.8 million over five years, starting in 2025-26, to support TRIUMF,

Canada’s sub-atomic physics research laboratory, located on the University

of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus. This investment will upgrade

infrastructure at the world’s largest cyclotron particle accelerator,

positioning TRIUMF, and the partnering Canadian research universities, at

the forefront of physics research and enabling new medical breakthroughs

and treatments, from drug development to cancer therapy.

I am sure we will hear from LT shortly.

Best, Oliver
